Highland senior Caroline McLeskey came in with a time of 17:26 to win the Marana Eye of the Tiger Invitational held on Saturday. St Michael Indian senior Ali Upshaw (17:34) took second and Rincon/University senior Grace Driskill (18:15) rounded out the top three.

McLeskey took third place at the Division I state championships last fall, second place as a sophomore and second place as a freshman. Only Desert Vista freshman sensation Lauren Ping has a better time than McLeskey (17:18.5) this fall (16:49.2).

On the boy’s side, Rio Rico junior Roshan Tinoco-Miranda (16:02) took first and he was followed by Walden Grove junior Johnathon Lane (16:10) and Williams Field sophomore Noah Plaza (16:21).

Tinoco-Miranda has the third best time in Arizona regardless of classification at 15:15.3 which is remarkable considering his 30th place finish in the D-3 state meet last year.

The state championships are slated for Saturday, Nov. 16 at the Cave Creek Golf Course.
